Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum

Story

The Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum has a large collection of local artifacts. It is also home to a growing number of photographs and archival materials relating to local families. The Museum has attractive exhibits for all ages and is wheelchair accessible.

Erected in 1872, the building which now houses the Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum served the community of Carleton Place as Town Hall and lock up until 1879, and as Victoria Public school until 1969.

The museum is run by the Carleton Place and Beckwith Historical Society. Since 1979 the Historical Society has made an effort to preserve and promote the heritage of the communities of Carleton Place and Beckwith Township. Our members are united by a desire to conserve and share local history.

Excellent museum of local history. Truly surprising for a community of this size, but then, this is a community with a rich and varied history. Do visit. Very informative.

Went to the museum's vintage clothing sale today with my beautiful teen daughter, and witnessed one of the 'workers' proceed to demoralize her and degrade her when she wanted to try on an outfit! The 'worker/maybe volunteer' began to explicitly express her opinion on the size of my daughter and express how nothing would fit her as everything was for much smaller sized women! One of the most disgusting experiences I have ever endured When redirected this staff then said ' I just wanted her to know'!!!!!! Not OK!

A small town museum with a big heart. Offers a lovingly curated history of a very historic district that was once the thriving centre of commerce for the region.
